Hi illluck, Sure you don't (viewtopic.php?p=163715#p163715), maybe I should give you some handicap stones... let's say 9

Bah, you're all judging me!

12-13: dezomb

3-3 - I'm a sandbagger and am about to stomp all over you, puny kyu player. I'm not sure why but it seems to be the sandbaggers choice, perhaps inviting an early contact play, at least that's been my experience lately.

4-4: Go is a complex game, let's try to keep it simple in the beginning
3-4: I've studied all joseki and will punish every mistake
3-5: I'm a fancy fellow.
4-5: I like influence
3-3: You know, I'm not as dumb as I look / With all those invaders, I might as well jump to it.
10-10: I heard about the big wall.
anywhere else: I'm going to let you think you should win because I play stupid in the opening and then I'll exploit that psychological advantage

16-16: I'm left handed and I hate you.
1-1: This is like Reversi, right?

Since earlier posts in this thread have informed me that I'm a hipster:

Anything you play: I was playing that before it was cool.

Not sure what I feel about others playing certain moves, but here is what I mood i am in when I play the stuff i play. Some of it depends on what the other guy plays, but still, the mood is there.

The usual stuff:
44 + 44: (parallel) i don't care about fancy fuseki, lets keep it simple and see who has better overall feel and depth (my main weapon recently)
34 + 34: (rotating) i wish to play conservatively, usually solid steady slow game, i'll do my best
34 + 33: i feel conservative and solid today, will try very territorial game
33 + 33: i am in the mood to crush you, lets see if i can, lets make it quick
45 + 45, or
35 + 35, or
35 + 45: i feel like something interesting and special today, can easily transpose to 34 + 34, similar feel just less conservative

Crazy styles, fast and dirty:
55 + 55: i am drunk and/or want to play something fast, crazy, but fascinating
no corner moves, just kakari after kakari, sometimes even kosumi kakari: i am stronger than you, treat it as a handicap and don't whine when you lose

Seldom played stuff:
34 + 44: (chinese) i really really want to master this, but keep failing, so help me learn
34 + 34: (mukai) i knew a guy who was constantly beating me with that, lets see how you fare

And that's pretty much my repertoire these days.

What I find boring (in myself and others):
san-ren-sei: i played it a lot as 1k/1d, then i got over it
tengen: silly silly move, but also tricky
diagonal fuseki (any kind): no dreams
any kinds of unconventional fuseki: usually those are so married to one specific idea, either you know it or not, they lack flexibility

I used to get feelings about opening moves.

Now I don't anymore. I always play 44 and 44 so I guess I'm boring too.

I think you're improving.
